Firmware 3.10 now out for PS Vita

Sony has released the new 3.10 firmware for the PS Vita. The new system firmware brings with it a number of new enhancements which are actually useful improvements to the PS Vita, rather than the usual slate of bug fixes.

Home screen - Users will now be able to display over 100 applications on Home screen. The limit has been increased to 500 icons.

Messages - Users will now be able to exchange voice messages. (The PS4 has the same feature so you can exchange voice messages with your friends who are playing PS4.)

Parental controls - Enhanced the parental control features have now been added. You will be able to restrict PS Store access, and with a children’s age guide for each level it is easier to find the right level for your children. We’ve also added an information guide for TrendMicro web security.

Calendar - With the Calendar app, users will be able to create gameplay events with your friends and sync your calendar with Google Calendar. Users will also be able to invite your friends to share events by using Messages and Email.
